The minimum wage in Bali saw a 6.5% increase in 2025. This increase aligns with the national directive from President Prabowo Subianto. According to the Indonesian Ministry of Labour, no worker in Indonesia can receive less than the mandatory minimum rate of pay. Should an employer fail to comply with this regulation, the Indonesian government may apply the corresponding punishment, which can be:
Imprisonment of a minimum of one (1) year and a maximum of four (4) years and / or;
Fine of at least 100,000,000 (one hundred million rupiah) and at most 400.000.000 (four hundred million).
Minimum Wage is the lowest amount of money a worker can earn for their work under the law. In most cases, countries follow a nation-wide minimum wage, that is, all workers in the country, no matter the region they are in, have the right to the same minimum wage. However, Indonesia’s system is set depending on the province, district, and the sector/industry. In Bali, the minimum wage varies depending on which of the nine regencies your business lies.
Levels of minimum wage are currently regulated and monitored by Government Resolution No.78/2015, which guarantees annual increases in the minimum rate, taking into account inflation and GDP rates. Then, following this data, each province and district will determine the minimum wage in their respective area.
The minimum wage is based on 40 hours of work per week and can either be:
7 hours per day and 40 hours per week for 6 days of work per week;
8 hours per day and 40 hours per week for 5 days of work per week.
The official minimum wage in Indonesia ranges from IDR 2,169,348 (monthly) in Central Java, to IDR 5,396,760 (monthly) in Jakarta.
